#8050 - Porsche 911 GT1(#26) 1998 LM

1/43 DIECAST MODEL

Discontinued

HPI's hyper-detailed 1/43 scale diecast model line-up now includes
the 1998 Le Mans-winning Porsche 911 GT1 #26. One
of the most distinctive and memorable Le Mans racers of all time,
the 1998 version of the Porsche 911 GT1 rolled out of the Weissach
factory in late February 1998. With a 3.2-liter opposed
six-cylinder engine and twin turbochargers, the 991 GT1 produced
550 horsepower and speeds up to 205mph (330 km/h) in testing on the
Mulsanne Straight. This model replicates the #26 car that won the
1998 Le Mans 24hr race, securing Porsche's role in endurance racing
history with a record-breaking 16th win at the legendary Circuit Le
Sarthe. These precision die-cast metal models are 1/43 scale, a
convenient size for any desk or display case. Incredible attention
has been paid to make the shape of cars as true to scale as
possible. Fine exterior details like radiators, disc brakes, brake
calipers, mirrors, wings, exhaust, headlight buckets, mirrors, tow
hooks, radio antennae and sponsor logos combine to make the models
extremely realistic. Each car has a fully painted and detailed
interior, complete with a roll cage, racing seat, fire
extinguisher, steering wheel, dashboard and even defroster lines in
the rear window. These models come mounted to a display platform
that includes a clear plastic protective case, and the car can be
easily removed from the platform for individual display.
Remember: all of these fantastic recreations are made in
limited quantities, once gone they will never be available
again.Also collect the Porsche 911 GT1
